Hi there,

I have just started on building my Beepre.  I have built...or tried too 3 Bottlehead kits before and have never had a fume extractor.

I hate the smell of solder!

I bought the Welder fume extractor and must say it is a must have!  It does a great job if you place it within a foot away.

Just wanted to let people know!

Enjoy your builds....Dave

Sounds interesting, can you post a link to the actual unit?

Here is my solution, power supply -> computer fan -> window :)

That looks great mcandmar.

Here is the link to the one I bought:

I live in Ottawa were it has been an extremely cold winter.  That is why I have been waiting so long to start the Beepre.  I would love to open the windows to work on it!

Take care...Dave

You adjust it until it reads 6337.
